All that crap about likes and smiting and in jokes and private forums and hard core porn and posting personal pics drove a lot of the old timers away.

I'm kinda happy to see that has changed and we're back to being about fundies,

Oh, make no mistake, the drama is still very much there. It just seems quiet since it hasn't been long since the last explosion of impotent rage and general butthurt.

Give it a month or so and people'll be back to shitting the bed over inconsequential nonsense.

I don't understand what the Hell half of that even said. Most of that was always around, & is still around. And in what sense are we "about Fundies again"? We literally just got cut from FSTDT. Now we're some vague legacy name that supposedly a guy I never met thought of before settling on "Fundies Say the Darndest Things."

Keiro and Nap were, to put it bluntly, fucking morons when they brought it back last time.

...A bunch of people really wanted it. There was a poll on it & everything. It's not like Napoleon, or even Keiro were really gung-ho for it.

Hm. I might be responsible for some of Queen's Fuck No spam. I think there was a period that I just Fuck No'd every post I liked.

Not to mention, Nappy specifically brought it back as a joke. I recall Nappy and Vene smiting each other like crazy for the lulz. If anything, I think Distind's the dumbass for keeping the system going 9 months or so after it was voted (overwhelmingly) to be scrapped because of the first bout of "people are mean to Cait" butthurt-extravaganza. Of course, I think he just kept the DRAMA system to stroke his ego. If only cause Distind's shown himself to be conceited and selfish.

Yeah, the consensus that was reached was to bring it back, but treat it as a joke. In that regard, it could be pretty funny, which is why I was kind of sad to see it go, & say not to bring it back.

What about where you can give approvals or exalts to particular posts. I've seen elsewhere where if someone posts something that's a good point or funny or what have you, someone can click an icon and it says below the post "_____ Likes this post." Something like that, anyway.

You wouldn't be approving of the particular person as much as you'd be agreeing with what they said.

Can't be implemented with the current system, and I'd rather not mess around with the forum software to see if it can be done.

If you liked someone's post, simply post on the thread saying so (ideally giving a reason why).

In other news, I've removed the chewtoy rule, given that it was ultimately redundant.

This can still lead to trolling with people simply liking every post a particular poster makes.
